KILL SCHOOL KILL IT KILL IT ALL LET IT BE REBORN FROM THE ASHES AND NOT TRAUMATIZE PPL OVER THE LITTLEST BULLSHIT
i love myself, even when i haven’t showered
i love myself, even when i’ve stayed up too late
i love myself, even when i’d rather stay in my comfort zone
and I love myself, especially when the world says I shouldn’t
…i’m tired, i should probably go to sleep
but let’s hope I have lovely dreams tonight 💜
this guy again? ugh.
been thinking abt this for months
Something that's really funny about Little Shop 1986 is the juxtaposition between the narrative often not taking anything seriously/making fun of itself and the characters and plot to the point that it's meanspirited at times (like Seymour describing the lifelong abuse and neglect he's gone through being framed in a very comedic and flippant way that's clearly making fun of him to the point that there might as well have been a laugh track playing, this happens with Audrey's introduction as well) but at the same time the performances (especially those of Ellen Greene and Rick Moranis) are so sincere.
This is most prominent in the theatrical cut ending where some of the dialogue feels like it was written in that Spongebob sarcasm font ("ThIs Is BeTwEeN mE aNd ThE vEgEtAbLE") (the very mocking tone at parts probably comes from them being pissed off that they had to redo the ending and seeing this new happy ending as stupid and fake and vapid which is fair) but it still feels like the actors are taking it fully seriously. If they were pissed at the audience like the writers clearly were I certainly can't tell. I refuse to look up interview quotes for any of this because most times I've looked at an interview quote for this movie it's been completely antithetical to every single thought I've ever had about it and made me wonder if I've watched the movie that it's talking about but yeah. Also probably no one involved would admit it if they were pissed at the audience but like... the writers probably were based on some of that dialogue/framing. No I don't know who 'the writers' were despite having written the equivalent of two doctoral theses on this movie. Because researching the authorial intent is painful for the reasons I've described.
How did this post get derailed this hard
Anyway tl;dr the juxtaposition between the narrative not taking anything seriously/being very mocking and the performances being very sincere is fun, it really adds to the feeling of Seymour and Audrey trying to survive in a world/society that hates them when the narrative itself is taking the piss out of them half the time.

i was actually awake at night thinking about this and i feel like they’d(or at least arthur would) TRY to make something but idk :/
Do you think they were in a situationship
Susie doesn’t consider herself an introvert.
She also doesn’t consider herself a quiet person.
But Noelle says Susie never talks to anyone.
And Monster Kid says she froze up instead of trying to pay ball with them.
She was watching and wanting to join in, but this was misinterpreted as “creepy”.
Susie is an extrovert, but it seems like she has a certain degree of social anxiety.
She’s actually a very social person.
That’s one reason her behavior is so night-and-day in Chapter 2.
The class has probably never seen this side of her, happy and laughing and cracking jokes.
Susie may have been a loner, but unlike Kris, who, despite being well-liked in town, is an introvert and usually prefers to be alone…
…Susie never wanted to be.
